If thus became one of the most highly acclaimed groups of the Seventies to never quite make the big time, despite good record sales and full venues. The band was managed and its albums produced by Lew Futterman , who had previously produced US jazz/soul stars Brother Jack McDuff and . Jackson , among others. Signed on by Chris Blackwell , an enthusiastic early fan, to Island Records in the UK and to Capitol Records in the US, their debut album, If (1970), entered the charts in both the States ( Billboard ) and the UK, as well as winning a design award for its cover. It was followed that same year by If 2 , also released on Island and Capitol.
